ALIAS creator new director of MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE 3

Sources say J.J. Abrams is the new guy in Tom Cruise’s life

Sources for Coming Attractions report that J.J. Abrams, the creator of ABC’s hit spy series ALIAS, is the new director of MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE 3. Abrams replaces Joe Carnahan who left the project due ot creative differences earlier this week. M:I 3 is scheduled to begin filming in Berlin next month.

This would be Abrams first turn as a director on a feature film but not behind the camera. He’s directed several episodes of ALIAS, FELICITY and his upcoming new TV series LOST, so he should have the technical skill to step up to the plate and get a hit.

M:I 3 will see the return of Tom Cruise as IMF agent Ethan Hunt and Ving Rhames as pal/agent Luther Stickwell. Carrie-Anne Moss (THE MATRIX), Kenneth Branagh (HARRY POTTER AND THE CHAMBER OF SECRETS), Scarlett Johansson (LOST IN TRANSLATION) also star in the film.
